43 I ground them to dust,and I squashed themlike mud in the streets.
44 You rescued mefrom my stubborn peopleand made me the leaderof foreign nations,who are now my slaves.
45 They obey and come crawling.
46 They have lost all courageand from their fortressesthey come trembling.
47 You are the living Lord!I will praise you!You are a mighty rock.I will honour youfor keeping me safe.
48 You took revenge for me,and you put nationsin my power.
49 You protected mefrom violent enemies,and you made me much greaterthan all of them.
